In reply to Alice. It is crazy and I hate that part of it! I don't typically share while I'm at an event either, for that reason. I wrote this post to help make sure everyone knew to turn off the geolocation on their photos. It's far too easy to feel secure in our world and end up shooting ourselves in the foot! Thank you for sharing with us!

I totally hear you on this one. Which makes me apprehensive about sharing pictures of my own children and location. And I usually don’t share pictures when I am at an event. It’s just crazy to think how our world isn’t always beautiful and safe. Thanks for sharing!

In reply to Michele. I think they expect consumers to know these things. I learned of it because my husband is in IT. It's terrifying and an easy fix!

In reply to Taylor. Welcome to the world of smart phones! Once you get here, it's impossible to go back! LOL. What kind did ya get? I currently have a Samsung Galaxy SIII and I think it's the greatest phone I've ever had!

I had no idea!! I don’t have any young ones at home now, but I don’t want someone being able to find me or any of my friends and loved ones! I will be sharing this and thank you so much!!

This is scary stuff! I just bought my very first smartphone a few months ago so I’m still learning how it works. I agree with Michele, there has to be a way for the manufacturers to eliminate it –

In reply to Kristyn. Me too! I've been surprised at how many people didn't know to do that though!

That is a pretty frightening thought that kids or anyone really can be found with a cell phone–there must be a way for the manufacturers to put strong precautions or eliminate it entirely.
